T
he REIQ is at the leading
edge of real estate training,
with an unrivalled history
of high quality, practical courses
that produce competent, job-ready
graduates. This edition of the Journal
celebrates those achievements
and also lifts the curtain on our
wonderful trainers, whose deep
knowledge and outstanding skills
keep us at the forefront of the real
estate training sector.
The REIQ recently introduced
a new software system for the
training department and this gives
our students, our trainers and our
administrators new tools and new
features that keep us at the forefront
of the marketplace.
One reason the REIQ places a
premium on training is that we
know by maintaining our skills
and knowledge we raise the bar
throughout the real estate profession.
This benefits consumers and real
estate professionals alike. Training
is and must be at the heart of
everything we do in order to maintain
our competitive edge and lift our
reputation in our local communities
across the state. Our courses are
tailored to meet the needs of today’s
real estate professional and there is
always an REIQ training course that
will help you take the next step in
your career.
Coinciding with this edition, the
Training Department has introduced
a new training package designed
specifically for agencies, enabling
them to give staff members access
to professional development. The
Ultimate Access Package gives
agencies the ability to choose
multiple training options for
one low, bulk-rate price of $550
(some exclusions apply). This is
a fantastic opportunity for real
estate principals looking to provide
quality professional development
training to team members at an
extraordinarily low price!
We’ve also recently launched a
marketing campaign that promotes
real estate careers. Many people
hear real estate and think it only
means only one thing – house
sales. We want to educate those
who might be thinking about a new
career that there are many choices
to suit many different personality
types and life stages.
Keep an eye out for this campaign,
which will be featured on our social
media platforms and across digital
sites. We would love you to get
involved in the campaign by sharing
the videos we have created with
your networks.
Finally, I want to ask you how
updated are your skills? Have you
invested in your own professional
development lately? There are many
options, including webinars, that you
will find helpful and interesting and if
you get our Ultimate Access Package
– whether you’re an individual
member or part of an agency – you
can dip in again and again to add to
your own knowledge. Think about it!
I wish you all the very best and I look
forward to saying hello at our next
REIQ event!
Best wishes,
Antonia
Training is at the heart
of everything we do
